Eurovision 2007 - SCOOCH - Flying The Flag (For You)

[Duststorm81]

They clearly weren't taking notes from Gina G's 1996 performance when they wrote this tune and choreographed it.

[TheCallumism]

This is where we went wrong in the music section :/

[Team9Trivia]

I can appreciate what Scooch is trying to achieve here, a throwback to the classic super-cheesy pop music style, which fits well into Eurovision if they pull it off. But there's a fine line between cheesy-awesome and cheesy-awful, and this just ends up on the wrong side of it.

[fsxzone]

binladins dead WOOHOO

[ShRiNkInGMuShRoOmS]

you seriously get better singers at butlins

[mikem1966]

Oh the shame!

[heatblat]

i voted for ireland in the semi final for dustin the turkey

[glenobrien2008]

why dont england give any points to ireland when ireland always gives them points

[glgogfg]

That's the problem with Eurovision now, people focus more on diplomacy than music.

[willtwinny]

I have noticed that as soon as UK started to take it seriously this year everyone is flaming this song. Can I just remind you that the reason this song got through is because people televoted for this song to be sung at eurovision. I personally like the song and I knew it would go to eurovision as soon as heard it.

I however have high hopes for Jade as I feel she will bring eurovision a song we all have faith in.

[CHAMO663]

they shold not represent the uk!

[JourneyOfABook]

The best thing about this performance is the stage! That thing is amazing! Lookat the colours!

[aDyprojekt]

this songs great, is so should of done better than it did. ppl moan the uk's entrys are crap and okay andy abraham was, but c'mon dont the rest of europe see the other really bad shit they enter? alot of europeean countries say the uk dont take eurovision seriously... they just need to get over themselves and get a sense of humor.. gutted terry wogon isnt doing it anymore =( he made it worth watching!

[annakfan]

well its ok but looks a bit ridiculous no wonder it wasnt the popular most people were probably thinking wtf.

[bipbop2]

I know! maybe they should have different rules or something..

But I dont even think that will help.

[LiLyLoLlYpOp123]

well catchy

x

[Nicolaske]

@bipbop2 Yeah, exactly, that's why the UK got 5th last year.

[naminaoko]

@bipbop2

I suppose the fact this so called "music" is simply excrement, didn't play any role in this song's failure to gain points?

[brinz54321]

why the hell was this picked as the song for the UK??? A. It is completely wierd. B. It makes no sense....they talk about flying on a plane then about flying the flag...wat the heck?? no wonder we didnt win with this song, if you can call it that, as our chosen one.

[Elainey1609]

so disterbing cant believe we picked this for our song

[theymademedoit333]

It's not my sort of song at all anymore and 'Steps' would have a done a better job in my opinion but i can't help thinking it should have at least been Top 5.

United Kingdom are hated by most European countries anyway! Funny thing is, if we pull out, there'll be no damn contest because we pay for most of it! Then who's laughing?

[brit694ever]

I made one big mistake!!!Uk gave Malta only 2 points in the semi final and Malta gave them 10 points more.Come on!!!Malta should thank Turkey.Turkey gave Malta 7 points because Vertigo had like a turkish style kind of music.

[silverside1]

Eurovision has done nothing but anger me since Iraq, because we as a nation are hated for the illegal war that we voted against at referendum. Just because Blare was so in Bush's pocket at the time the war started, we're all punished by way of national hatred. It's only Eurovision and it doesn't matter because it's shit and has no credibility, which makes it all the worse when we enter piss taking entries like this one and still get nowhere.

[stig114]

May have done better if it had been entered about ten years ago when this sort of cheese was all over the charts.

[LordGodApophis]

But put it this way, we could have the best act on there and still not win, why? cos its all to do with politics and countrys.

[mandukka]

I was there! :)

[azucarmoreno]

If one of those fucking Commy or Yugoslav countries sent this song to Eurovision it would be inthe top 10. Fuckin pisses me off.

[braders101]

Im sorry,

but i really think this is a good song

[Tennisfan1987]

Am I the only one who thinks the backingsinger at the end of the song is by far the best singer lol

[Torsasrobin]

i like tthe girls! they are nice!

[thefreakonaleash]

Go scooch!

[Dan37542]

WHY THE FUCK DO CHAVS HAVE TO HAVE AN AFFECT ON ENGLAND, GO TO FUCKIGN IRAQ (no offence on Iraq, I just want chavs to go there and get killed) THE FUCKING SCOOCH WHERE A DISCRACE TO THIS COUNTRY.

[LordGodApophis]

What ya mean 'a disgrace to this country'? Scooch's song was one of the best there, it was lively, camp, and British, what we should see more of in the Eurovision from the UK!

[Dan37542]

Maybe to you, but I'm a goth, I thaught it was rubish, but I base this on the overall score.

[LordGodApophis]

Sorry i didnt know you based it on the overall score, but i'm a goth too and i like it! (I agree with ya about chavs)

[BGrade15]

But we SHOULDN'T see more of this in Eurovision. This maybe would have done well in 1980 something, but not now. Now, we need a more Eastern feel to the songs in order to do well.

[flamebleach]

what do u mean by eastern feel? we live on a dam sphere. east is west, north is south.

[CANDJUK]

Look at it this way.

Was Sertab camp? No.

Was Ruslana camp? No.

Was Helena camp? No.

Were Lordi camp? No.

Was Marija camp? No.

[LordGodApophis]

Was Ukraine Camp Yes and nearly won!

[deep0mist]

awful!anyway, it could be worse...

p.s. eurovision sux!!!

[aberdarecat]

Even the presenter looks camp!

Even so, I like Eurovision, even if the UK never has a chance to win!

[marylin1990]

That´s so terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erbland2006]

This is the best U.K. entry in about ten years! Scooch are AMAZING!

Your exits are here, here and here! CLASSIC!

[willh1991]

eurovision is the only place that small insigificate states in europe have any power and therefore the winner of eurovision each year is a product of hatred due to envy of any counties in europe that have infulence in the international community. im not saying that this song should have won but it should have done alot better than it did

[theTuniversity]

oh, and by the way, the euro has united several countries, the lwas of the council have stopped wars and made peace. england hasn't done anything except stab blacks and join ku klux klans. you love your shitty little country WAY to much, and you're an incredibly racist person.

[theTuniversity]

all those "insignificant little states" as you call them, are real countries, with real laws, and real hopes. they have a bigger place in europe than england ever will. even if they're small and aren't very powerful, i'd much rather live there than in a country that loves itself so much it won't even help it's neighbor states. when you accept the fact that NO population deserves more than another, come back an yell at me then.

[sunhill24]

so if they all have important economic values to europe why is poland struggling since joining the eu to have skilled people in its country, they're mostly in the uk to have a better life with the best economy in Europe

[Xander667]

Bloody hell eurovision isnt about the best song anymore!! its all polictial!!! plus britans song is shite anyway!! its lyk somthing you would here in the seventies!!!!! but its cacthie tho!!!!

[theTuniversity]

a lot of the bands in eurovision were cheesy as hell, and most of them were pretty good (ukraine, russia and spain were the best, i would say) but remember, nowadays, nobody votes for the best songs anymore, it's entirely political. if 2 countries are good friends, then they'll vote for each other, if they're at war or in crisis, they won't.

.

[theTuniversity]

england came so far down, but it wasn't because of their song, but because of the bloody country.

they won't accept the euro as money, they won't become part of the european council, and they're constantly pushing themselves away from the rest of europe. AND tony blair is supporting the war in iraq. ridiculous. nonr of that has anything to do with their song.

but because they want to make themselves so solitary, the bands that represent them never stand a chance.

[willh1991]

this is completely rediculous, we do not accept your euro becuase it is the most unstable peice of crap on the earth and pounds is a very strong currency, we would risk losing huge amounts of money if we join. seconally we are part of the european council, if your go to post a comment attacking england at least get your facts straight.

[theTuniversity]

england is constantly pushing itself away from the rest of europe. the government wants to be independent and it's costing a lot. france isn't any more important, neither is italy, or spain, or any other country. each member has it's own economic presence. you don't have to tell me that england is worth more. i'm sorry if i offended you in any way by telling the truth.

[willh1991]

thetuniversity- france is far from being perfect,40% of the EU budget goes to agriculture,it could be put to use building infastructor for developing poorer counties,this is because every time the EU tries to lower it all the french farmers go on strike, your countries is taking much more out of europe than any other country. we distance our selves from the rest of europe becuase because we dont want to be assosiated with counties like yours, and we are not changing this just to win eurovision.

[theTuniversity]

will, i'm not attacking england, it's actually the country i used to live in. it represents a large amount of the E.U industry, and has an incredibly powerful currency and is also a stiving country on this planet. i was just poiting out the fact that not many people from other countries respect it properly anymore. by the way, when i said that it wasn't a memeber of the european council, i was wrong. i meant to say that it didn't properly accept most of the rules the council puts in place.

[edge033]

Eurovision isnt about politics , and the Euro is a pile of shit anyway , too unstable

[theTuniversity]

about 60% of eurovision voting is about politics. not talent. look back at the voting countries , all of the "and 12 points go to our neighbours in...!" "and we give a big hand for our good friends over in...!" all that bullshit. the world today is unstable and full of hate, the only countries that like each other are those who give each other money, goods, and so on... you can say what you want, but it isn't scooch's fault england came so low, even though they suck.

[theTuniversity]

the european union is becoming less and less respectful towards the UK and all for good reason. i'll bet you next year, england's rank hasn't gone up much. and if it has, well, i guess there are miracles. eurovision used to be huge event in the music industry, nowadays, it's just another weirdo reality show, filled with weird acts and crapass songs. you say what you think, and i will too. but if you're just going to attack large currencies just because you brits hate them, keep it to yourself.

[sw3nick]

and im the pope

[Rufusboy74]

Er hello? Scooch were representing the WHOLE of the United Kingdom - not just England...

[theTuniversity]

oh yeah, sorry, when i said england, i meant the entire UK. i usually use both names with the same meaning by accident, because, although the 2 are basically the same, it doesn't sound politically correct.

sorry for any confusion.

[jg2r7]

good song BUT WHY DO WE EVEN ENTER EUROVISION WE will never win !

[Courteney123]

Would you like something to suck on for landing sir?

:---D this was... weird.

[MiSTerEuroVish]

i was so confident for this to do well but the vocals weren't strong enough and that tanned guy, couldn't here his little innuendos lol! a waste

[MiSTerEuroVish]

i wonder what cyndi's background would've been

and perhaps her scoring (top 10 perhaps)

[stupot92]

so bad itz brilliant

[fabiomanual]

oh i love this songgggggg

[budd0y]

even though scooch wernt that good, no matter how good the uk's song is it will still lose cus all the other europian countrys vote for each other.

[xwhitzx]

Yeh well shudnt ov voted for them to represent us neway.. dat cindy wos 100 times better than this..how stupid can peopl get

[mankyMcmankerson]

this is so bad, how can these people look at themselves and be proud? this is just cringable. I cant believe this type of music is still being made. Oh man bad bad bad.......Im really wating my time even writting about it.....

[Rubyyy123]

This Is Really Good =)

But Seein As It's All About Politics, Maybe Next Year We Should Have A Band Like, Erm Take That? Or A Well Known British Band Who Are Bound To Win...

[Poehr]

Deliberate use of a double negative, donmadders, so you can stop waving your pen in the air!

[Poehr]

"if you don't like it don't listen to it!!! Its not that hard. - beanabeanbean

Let's get this straight old bean(a).  I'm NOT listening to it (the pause is on as I type this), I'm just criticising it! (I only had to hear it once) Or are you somehow, via your comment, madly proposing a world in which people don't criticise anything they don't like, at all, ever??

[tigerprincess07]

omg so funni we onli got a few points

[steven9444]

i think poland should have given us 12 points since they give us their fucking imagrants!!!!

[bendolden]

great comment, and so true

[jessieKD]

aye,if scooch were from say,eastern europe they would have welllll won. Strange isnt it,that everyone says that this song is too tacky/camp/cheesy,but ukraine who were equally tacky,camp with the same bubblegum pop thang going on came second...

[beanabeanbean]

"It was even quainter how Scooch just couldn't disguise their disappointment during the points tallying, as their song was being disregarded in the way it fully deserved, by country after country :) "

You really are a weirdo. Anyway...you must like it otherwise you wouldn't spend your free time looking at it on the internet would you?? I have told you before- if you don't like it don't listen to it!!! Its not that hard.

Accept that in life people like different music.

[watever1237689blah]

Sorry, I love this song... so catchy but a bit dirty. We shud havewon. so much for politics!!!

[Poehr]

Your rude demand makes no sense, donmadders, and you know it (it's a capital "E" in "English," btw).

[DeathKitty123456]

we shud have won we rocked!!!!

[rolatha04]

the eurovision voting is completley political, if the uk was in the middle of all the other countires, wede probably win! stupid countries, and y dnt we get a well known band to represent us?!?!?!

[LawsIam]

my dad was like NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! when Malta gave us top marks, i found it hilarious!

[stevenottway]

5/5

[Poehr]

It was even quainter how Scooch just couldn't disguise their disappointment during the points tallying, as their song was being disregarded in the way it fully deserved, by country after country :)

[donmadders]

Poehr learn to speak english before you write it

[hackneycrab]

how quaint  that some people still think that there is a relationship between the quality of the song and the number of votes...

[lordilujah]

awful ,simply awful

[mrcrazyrandomdude]

the actual winner sucked. was it a man or a woman?

[harryjarman90]

i no, think it was a lesbo! The ukraine song was the best

[mrcrazyrandomdude]

too right

[jamiebraces]

why cant we enter a good band like oasis or arctic monkeys? Then we wolud win!

english kid

[lordilujah]

the arctic monkeys would never win it for us

[jWof84]

Say what you want about Eurovision and bloc-voting, but this song doesn't deserve to win anything ever.

[Poehr]

It came second to last :). My, that's quite a flight! In 10 years time, long after they've split up, the members of Scooch, will appear on a show called "The 100 Worst Eurovision Songs Ever" agreeing with me about what total nadger-squirt this song is, and wishing they'd never ever performed it...

[hackneycrab]

What i PARTICULARLY like abt this song having represented the UK in Europe is the fact that it seems taylor made to irritate a certain kind of uptight Brit...

It was a PLEASURABLE journey...

[beff1994]

i agree with u below!!

proud to be british!!

we shud of won

or ukraine haha they wer funny

we rocked

[speedypete1515]

yeah rite, baring in mind the standards of this competition... our song fitted every category if it had been any other country out of western europe it would of won!! but ahhh well

[Ninja2410la]

Eurovision is totally not fair, countries just vote for their "lovely neighbours" and its not judged on content just on who they're allies with. Obviously we're never gonna win because of Iraq etc. Whats the opint of a contest where people only vote for the countries that happen to be next to them.

I thought this song was really good, yeh its cheesy, but its eurovision.

[betty4horses]

i think its a rubbish song we did well bad!!

 English Girl

[beanabeanbean]

Poehr you really do need to get out more! This song is brilliant and they did us proud. And if you don't believe me- then maybe you could ask all the other people out there who bought it and made it top 5?????

enough said.

[Diss8787]

I think this is a good song!:)

Hungarian boy

[hackneycrab]

Oh dear, I guess some people are experiencing a sense of humour failure!

I think this song had all the gravity that a Eurovision entry requires and was performed with panache (the dark haired woman has a great voice and the dance routine was hilarious!). As for the voting: The Beatles could have reformed for Eurovision with two members spectacularly brought back to life and we would have got no more votes...

[Poehr]

Bean you got your word order wrong. Should read:

"I think some of you are forgetting that this was voted for by idiots."

You don't have to like a song or a type of music to acknowledge that it's good, btw (I don't like Mike Oldfield's music on the whole, but I can tell he's a talented musician). However, in this instance we have a horrible song performed by a talentless group. End of.

[beanabeanbean]

I think some of you idiots are forgetting that this was voted for by US the british public. Its great song and act and I hope they are around for a long long time. Just coz its not your type of music doesn't make it bad. If you don't like it then don't watch it. Retards.

[fishfoodlad]

balls on toast, shit ona stick what ever you call it THIS SUCKS

[Poehr]

Jesus, this is shit on a stick. Cloying campness, innuendoes that would've been lost on most of the audience present on the night (and that aren't even funny if you're English)...Please God, can the members of Scooch all die in pain and terror? ;-)

[Dudeboy4000]

the UK need to learn from this! its awful! why dont they do a finland and get a rock band in there =D

[fishfoodlad]

good plan dude, lordi rule

[peaty95]

this song is amazin i dnt c wot is rong with it is an amazin song

[xSweetCherriePiex]

hahaha how lame r they? thnx 4 this vid !

[beyoncelee]

Lol

[merlinrulz]

this song rules if only people liked england then scooch would win

[jaychristie909]

there was worse then scooch... lyk serbia

[marrkb]

This is fantastic i love it!!!!!!!!!!

[stevenottway]

I think this is 5/5!

[David25892]

Charlotte Church was right this song is SHIT with a capital S!

[David25892]

Wot the hell are you people on about?!

I'm surprised this song wasn't in last place!

Cindi or Big Bruvas were definitely robbed of their eurovision place year after year the UK keep putting in awful entries that have no chance of winning at all its as if we dont want to win. Cindis was quite like Serbias entry and it should have been in and it would have done very well.

[Nukleopatra2]

This was the best song of the whole night. Scooch did us proud. It is all about politics, and neighbourly love.Well done Ireland for following this unfair trend, by giving us our well deserved 12 points!

Eurovision is about camp, fun, tongue in cheek, and should not be taken seriously. Scooch were robbed. Well done anyweay guys, you should be proud of your performance, it was full of energy, not depressing like 99% of the other songs.

[Nukleopatra2]

Sorry, I meant Malta, not Ireland! Doh.

[Bille994]

as much as i am ashamed to be british when i watch this viseo, i actually like it better than serbia's entry xD WHERE THE HELL ARE BIG BRUVAS?? they would have done better :'( maybe next year eh?

[kelly853]

Omg! This Sooo Should Have Won The Eurovision! The Voting Is Obviously Just About Politics Now =(

[simgc]

Oh Yes, we rock! This song is a lot better than the song that won!

[GnuTex]

I can't beleive they came 2nd last

[beanabeanbean]

Why are you all being twats? The song and act are fantastic

[sexycouple501]

Should have won !

[fortunato87]

Oh my god, I thought that it was the reincarnation of Aqua combined with the Vengaboys...Hilarious but on the other hand sad that a country with such good bands send a groupe like this one...My favourite part is when the woman says "pleasant flight". Priceless!

[watever1237689blah]

OMG!!! That camp guy is well havin' an orgasm when he says 'something to suck on, sir'. Its abit camp and the performance at making ure mind up was better

[barnabus102]

totally the camp guy did ruin it, but why does a band of 4 need backing songs anyway???!!! awful no wonder british airways did not use it for their advertising campaign. What is with all the innuendos?

[catt36]

you guys are so sad! this is so trashy im suprised no one tried to chuck them in the bin during the performance!

[musicMONKEY07]

im frm england and i think we could of done better than this, i er didnt like the dance moves, it was not as good as some of the other performaces i saw.

[brunette4eva07]

i love this song!! am i sad?

[mjk05]

Did the backing singers hae a costume change at some point?! They were in pink at the start!

[oresamm]

that camp guy ruins this song

[ultraseb]

"Would you like something to suck on the landing"? >_<

[catt36]

''...pull firmly on the lifechord and blow into the mouthpiece.''

the actions look SO wrong.

[ultraseb]

yeah..might as well just re-enact a blowjob with their tongues pressing along the wall of their cheeks..@_@

[catt36]

they all ruin the song.

[alexgodzilla]

i love it. :)

eurovision is so camp its beyond a joke. and i know people says omgz we have shit songs.

but its so political these days. :'( i wanted scooch to win. we definently deserved higher than 23rd place!

[twoweirdos]

yeah thats true its what countries like each other!

[frankenboy84]

That´s a cool party song! It deserved more then the 23 place. Like the german entry.

Next year we have to give the 12 points to each other.

Greets from germany

[tigerhunny]

i thought the song was fab, can't believe we lost 2 serbia

[cozdahunni]

i thought this was rly gd! lol.

i thought we deserved more than we got! x

[robbolp144]

awesome =)we wish you a very pleeaasureable journeh!

[silverside1]

Come on, appreciate it for what it is! No one's claiming that it's the best music in the world, it's just a camp eurovision song that makes us look like we don't take ourselves too seriously. We need to enter a COMPLETE piss take entry next year with a load of UK comedians. I'm proud of Scooch, they performed well and took the piss out of what is a crap show.

[trap0001]

There are already cries of 'eastern bias' and 'only rated low because of Iraq' etc etc but the simple truth is this song is at best COMPLETE SHIT! Gemini were better (and they were crap too). We should pull out of this lame-ass competition NOW and pour the taxes used to fund it into music schools. Then maybe in a few years we'll have groomed some real talent like we used to have.

[xsmileformex]

THAT IS SOOOO FUNNY !!!!

[mattybaines]

is it me or does that guy at the end say 'KICKED ARSE!!' ?? lol

[VilleHV]

HAHAHA! He says 'kiitos" which means 'thank you' in Finnish. But I must admit, it does sound a bit like "kicked arse". :)

[mattybaines]

lol. that explains it.

[ultraseb]

maybe that was a preview to how we were to too..lol. BUt yeah, i thought this song was waaay better than many of the other entries full of slow rock or power ballads..lots of Evanesence-lite kind of songs..pah!

[mattybaines]

i was meant to say then...

love IT when the guy says...

not...

live is when the guys says..

lol!

[mattybaines]

love is when the guy says..

'would you like something to suck on for landing sir?'

class!! lol

[salader1]

Shakin' Stevens should do it!

[Jakkekoira]

spice girls in next year? :)

[xXPrincessAngelXx]

Bwahaha XD That I would love to see :P I bet that even if we had Elton John representing us we would still lose -_- Block voting sucks -_-

[Tazrecordings]

england were terrible its like a lil kids song

[beckaloola]

it was either going to do very well as a novelty or very very badly... i guess Europe just didn't like the innuendos!

[AlteranAncient]

Actually, it's just the politics. All the Eastern Europe countries vote for each other. West Europe might as well not bother.
